When I discovered midwifery I knew I had finally found my place. Midwifery joins my greatest passions – mother/parenthood, pregnancy, women’s health, and healthcare service. My goal is to provide birthers with the confidence and knowledge to trust themselves, their bodies, and the natural process of pregnancy and birth. I appreciate the individuality of each birthing person and aim to assist them in achieving their desired birth experiences.

I completed my midwifery training at McMaster University in Hamilton, ON. Working in the different communities in Ontario allowed me to gain experience in both rural and urban settings. I have worked with families of varying degrees of needs, socioeconomic status, education levels, and cultural/religious backgrounds. I also have a Bachelor of Human Kinetics from UBC where I focused on nutrition as well as exercise in the pre-and-post natal population. Having been born and raised in Vancouver, and my plans was to return and practice midwifery at home.

I’ve been practing at The Midwifery Group since 2011. In 2019 I also became one of the Clinical Directors. I find it incredibly rewarding to contribute and provide care to my home community. I look forward to caring for you and your family as you allow me to be involved in one of the most challenging yet rewarding moments of your lives.

In my spare time, I can be found traveling, doing outdoor physical activities and keeping busyin the kitchen with my son and husband. We love all things food - cooking, baking, eating, exploring new cuisines - but, most of all, we love to create and share a great meal with friends and family.
